The Ravens have hired Dean Pees as their linebackers coach. Baltimore head coach Jon Harbaugh made the announcement on Tuesday. "I've know Dean for 27 years, and he's our type of coach -- energetic, hard-working and innovative," Harbaugh stated. "He has worked with all three levels of defense -- defensive line, linebackers and secondary. His experience and wealth of knowledge speak for themselves. Dean has also earned respect from his players and fellow coaches because he has been a coordinator. He'll help our linebackers complement the guys up front and in the back end. He'll fit in with us well, and we're excited to get him." Pees had been the defensive coordinator of the Patriots for the last four seasons. It was announced on Jan. 14 that he wouldn't renew his contract with New England.
